The moon he seems like a long lost friend
He follows wherever I go
I’ve got these thoughts inside of me
That only he will know
Two feral cats stalk the midnight street
They arch up their backs for a fight
A desperate scene played out in the dark
On a desperate night
Am I the only one that walks these streets alone
Am I the only one who feels so far from home
I’m out of money I’m out of luck
I’m out of favor with the folks back home
I’d rather be free than on bended knee
And so these streets I roam
Am I the only one that walks these streets alone
Am I the only one who feels so far from home
When daylight comes I must return
Like a vampire into the void
The late night streets are the only place
Where I can find any joy
Am I the only one that walks these streets alone
Am I the only one who feels so far from home
GLOW
Woke up in the afternoon
Didn’t recognize the room
Note on the table said Had a great time
See ya in another life
If I could remember the good times that I had
Maybe I could be happy and not feel so sad
My life is just a late night binge
I’m at the point of coming unhinged
I’ll take bourbon, tequila, or gin
Anything to get back that glow again
If I could remember the good times that I had
Maybe I could be happy and not feel so sad
GLOW – I believe in it
GLOW – I’m in need of it
FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
Ever since I was born
I’ve been living on the run
Living by the skin of my teeth
By every trick and every con
But I never hurt no one
That didn’t hurt me first
I know that I’ll be blessed
For a lifetime of being cursed.
Some say I’m guilty
I’m innocent as a lamb
I mind my own business
But I’m always in a jam
Some say the hangman
Has got to have his day
I keep on running
To FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
Tomorrow I must catch a train
On my way to another town
I always pull myself up
Before it pulls me down
I’ve always been hungry
For the finer things
But now I’d trade it all
For just one set of wings
Some say I’m guilty
I’m innocent as a lamb
I mind my own business
But I’m always in a jam
Some say the hangman
Has got to have his day
I keep on running
To FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
Well you heard about the Roadhouse Blues
Here’s another groove that you can use
I see you walking down the street
So hop in my car and take a ride with me
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
It’s on the edge of town out on Old Mill Road
To get in the door you got to know the code
It may be a bit outside the law
But it’s the wildest place you ever saw
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
Your heart will pound the walls will sweat
You haven’t seen nothing like it yet
The lights are low and the music’s loud
Get lost in the rhythm get lost in the crowd
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
Do the ROADHOUSE BOOGIE
CITY OF DREAMS IN A STATE OF GRACE
There’s a great big smile upon my face
Looks like we might just win this race
No longer will I live in disgrace
Those demons are gone without a trace
My city of dreams in a state of grace
My city of dreams in a state of grace
I got good gospel on my radio
Nobody gonna know me like you know
I can’t hold back the tears that gotta flow
I know these seeds are gonna grow
My city of dreams in a state of grace
My city of dreams in a state of grace
We still got the dealers selling dope
But there’s a new drug going round they call hope
My city’s been knocked up against the ropes
If I help my neighbor I know we gonna cope
My city of dreams in a state of grace
My city of dreams in a state of grace
My city of dreams in a state of grace
My city of dreams in a state of grace
INNOCENCE
I’ve been out on the streets for far too long
I’ve had to survive on my own
I tried not to let it get too deep
But sometimes I didn’t want to wake from my sleep
You know I love your innocence
You know I need your innocence
You know I love your innocence
Please wait for me
I used to laugh at those losers on TV
I was a fool to let it take over me
I trusted friends who showed me a good time
Then one day I went over the line
You know I love your innocence
You know I need your innocence
You know I love your innocence
Please wait for me
As long as I have you I have hope
I just need time to get free from the dope
They say you can never wash away the stain
But I can make it if you help me with the pain
You know I love your innocence
You know I need your innocence
You know I love your innocence
Please wait for me
I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED
When a heart is open
That’s when it gets broken
That’s the lesson I learned
When I feel this desire
I run from the fire
Cause I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED no
I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED
I know I lured a few flies to the flame
but now the tables are turned
you want to do to me the same
but I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED no
I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED
Like a fatal attraction
That causes inaction
That’s my cause for concern
That ring of fire
Is growing higher and higher
But I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED no
I DON'T WANNA GET BURNED
AT THE END OF THE WORLD
Now that you found me at the end of the world
Now you know that I’m somewhere beyond the blues
Now that you found me at the end of the world
Am I someone that you thought you knew
I know that if you stay for a drink
The moon gets in my eyes and I start to think
You were the one that made me go away
What is it that you want me to say?
Now that you found me at the end of the world
Do you want me to tell you I think about you girl
Now that you found me at the end of the world
How can you separate the oyster from the pearl?
I came here to be alone in this place by the sea
Hoping one day my soul will be free
Why did you come here after all this time
Must we return to the scene of the crime?
ONE LAST RIDE
I got three hours of sleep
And three gallons of gas
I know I got to make
Something happen fast
I got a face full of stubble
And a suitcase full of trouble
I know that this trip
May turn out to be my last
Gonna take her out for ONE LAST RIDE
Pedal to the metal, top down on Oceanside
You know there's no redeemin'
When you hear those Firestones screamin'
It's the ultimate powerglide
When you're out for ONE LAST RIDE
Yeah I'm out for ONE LAST RIDE
Yeah I'm out for ONE LAST RIDE
Gonna ride baby!
Going down to Mexico
It's the only place I know
My good friend squealed
Now I have to blow
I know I shouldn't have told her
Now I'll never make the border
I'll be a dead man with all this dough
Gonna take her out for ONE LAST RIDE...
ROAD SONG
Topped her off now I’m out on the road
Got to make this one last load
I just hope that I don’t get stopped
by those cops in Tennessee
Got to make this haul on time
Diesel in gear and she’s starting to whine
Radio plays that same old song
Me and Bobby McGhee
Those red tail lights playing tricks with my mind
After midnight and I’m bleary eyed
Time to find a roadside café and a load up on caffeine
I see the sunrise bleed into the sky
Like a vision of paradise
If I can make this one last leg
Lord have mercy on me
GOOD TIMES STILL AHEAD
It’s storming its raining
What’s the use complaining
I may sink or I may drown
But I can’t let that get me down
Cause I know there’s good times still ahead
And I can’t let my heart be filled with dread
Just as the storm is peaking
The ceiling has started leaking
The thunder has started moving on
I know these clouds will soon be gone
And I know there’s good times still ahead
And I can’t let my heart be filled with dread
INNOCENT WORLD
If I had my way
There’d be nobody fighting
There’d be nobody dying
Just a long happy life
If I had my way
There’d be nobody lying
There’d be nobody crying
Except to cry sweet tears of joy
Oh to live in an innocent world
I know its just a dream
But what else can I do
If I have my way
I’m gonna try to be much kinder
But if I ever need a reminder
I can always trust in you
Oh to live in an innocent world
I know its just a dream
But what else can I do
VOODOO NIGHT
Take me to a lake just before the flood
Tie me to a stake and draw some blood
Painted faces dancing naked
Under the moonlight on the delta mud
I'm the offering on a VOODOO NIGHT
Spanish moss hangs down just like ghosts
Souls departed from their hosts
Tribal drums have begun
From my blood you drink a toast
I'm the offering on a VOODOO NIGHT
My fate is out of my hands
I just don't understand
How I came under your command
On a VOODOO NIGHT
EVERAFTER
When you were young /and had no worries
You were never in a hurry
You knew that time would take its time with you
There were lots of fresh faced boys
Who brought you lots of toys
You were overjoyed always someone new
Now your young world has ended
All the roles you once pretended
Memories are now suspended forever in time
Welcome to your Everafter
Standing on all you’ve gathered
Will you get to keep the laughter - did the stars align?
When you were young and had no vices
Didn’t look at the prices
You threw the dice like the world was free
How you danced by the star light
Made romance by the car light
So entranced at life’s ecstasy
Now your young world has ended
All the roles you once pretended
Memories are now suspended forever in time
Welcome to your Everafter
Standing on all you’ve gathered
Will you get to keep the laughter - did the stars align?
You used to wonder what the future brings
Now there is no more surprise
You used to be in awe of everything
Now the truth is in your eyes
I’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH
It’s all a vicious rumor
That I’ve lost my sense of humor
Despite the impending doom
I’m laughing like a loon
What am I supposed to do
I’m not good enough for you
Tomorrow will be harder
Though I’ll be much smarter
Pardon my confession
I guess I learned my lesson
What am I supposed to do
I’m not good enough for you
I’ve been giving you all my days
Now I see its just a waste of time
Everything is just a lie
I need to get back the life that’s mine
I DON’T WANNA PLAY THE GAME
Everything's fine
If you wait in line
and always play by the rules
Everything's good
and it's understood
In this world full of happy little fools
I don't wanna play the game
I don't wanna play the game
I don't wanna play the game
No more
Everyone’s numb
And they’re blind deaf and dumb
To all the deceit and lies
They’re watching it spin
And just giving in
As though they’re hypnotized
I'm tired of just making out
Satisfied with the crumbs they let fall
I'm ready for breaking out
I'm gonna ride right over the wall.
I don't wanna play the game
I don't wanna play the game
I don't wanna play the game
No more
BLACK MOON
There’s a BLACK MOON following me
It’s up in the sky but only I can see
There’s a BLACK MOON on the rise
Deep in the night It’s got me hypnotized
BLACK MOON will you ever let me go
BLACK MOON will you ever let me go
BLACK MOON has turned the tide
BLACK MOON left me no place to hide
BLACK MOON blocks out the sun
BLACK MOON keeps me on the run
BLACK MOON will you ever let me go
BLACK MOON will you ever let me go
ATTACK OF THE MUTANT CYBORG ZOMBIE ALIENS
People of the Earth
If you hear this transmission
We are hear to confirm
Your alien superstitions
We come in peace
By that we mean obliteration
You are like fleas
On our constellation
We come from a race
That you do not understand
We claimed all of Space
And this is our land
For your own egos
You will put up a fight
Resistance is futile
You will succumb to our might
BLUE WITHOUT YOU
Outside the season is changing again
Papers are blowing in the autumn wind
The leaves on the trees have lost their cling on life
I feel blue without you
I’m so blue without you
Time races on but time stands still
I’ve got to swallow this bitter pill
I stay in place while you’re moving on
I feel blue without you
I’m so blue without you
Got nothing left to talk about
Soft sunny days are running out
Another hard winter is just around the bend
Everyday is colder than before
Its hard to be a soldier back from the war
But I don’t want you to pretend
I feel blue without you
I’m so blue without you
I feel blue without you
I’m so blue without you
THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
Holed up in a Hollywood bar
With a bourbon on the rocks and cashews in a jar
Trying to get away from everything
From the jukebox Eddie Arnold sings
And I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
I’m back in my zone again
I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
And I know that this much heaven must be a sin
I came in on Tuesday
I planned on being a star
Now its come on Thursday
And I ended up in this bar
And I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
I’m back in my zone again
I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
And I know that this much heaven must be a sin
They offered me a walk on part
A chance to meet some celebrities
But I said that’s alright
I’ve got somewhere else to be
I’ve got to be the star
Of my own fantasy
And I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
I’m back in my zone again
I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
And I know that this much heaven must be a sin
There’s a Miller High Life beer clock
Hanging on the wood panel walls
And one of those moving light pictures
That looks like Niagara Falls
I can see the water looks like its pouring out on me
I guess I’m past the point
Of Sobriety.
And I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
I’m back in my zone again
I’m THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
And I know that this much heaven must be a sin
YOU WITHOUT ME
You without me
I know you want to be free
Sometimes there’s a sadness
As you look for the key
And I can feel you
Though you are miles away
And I will heal you
If you just call out my name
I’m only a phone call away
Even if you don’t have much to say
You’re always in the back of my mind
You had to leave me behind
You without me
It had to be that way
Your new life is now underway
Some of these sorrows you just can’t avoid
Soon your sorrows will all turn to joy
I’m only a phone call away
Even if you don’t have much to say
You’re always in the back of my mind
You had to leave me behind
Those sunny afternoons
When you’re feeling blue
Think of those afternoons
Of me with you
You without me
It’s a great big old world
Now is the moment
Your flag is unfurled
Look to the heavens and follow your star
I’ll always love you
Wherever you are
WEEDS
The gardener knows that his cause is lost
In the end the weeds will wander
But the gardener still must do what he must
Until he too is tilled under
La la la la la la la la la…
The favored flowers feel so special
As they show off their bright colored petals
While the weeds just creep and set their anchor deep
Pressing on while the innocents sleep
La la la…
Still the weeds present their flowers too
Like rebels rising up to make a coup
Until the gardener through vigilant toil
Uproots the infidels from the soil
La la la…
But we cannot change the everlasting truth
The weeds have grown the deepest root
And when the gardener has turned to bone
Around his grave the weeds have grown
La la la…
